SoulFeast Week, Lexington’s new dining event, announces menus (all under $10!)
SoulFeast Week, a new Central Kentucky dining event celebrating Black culinary and agricultural excellence, has released the list of participating restaurants.
And all the special menu items are available for $10 or less.
More than a dozen Black-owned restaurants in Lexington will offer special off-the-menu dishes, according to SoulFeast Week. And each one will feature at least one ingredient sourced directly from a Black farmer in Kentucky, in partnership with Black Soil.
This is the first year for SoulFeast Week, launched by Martina and Marcellus Barksdale to highlight Black-owned food providers and chefs.
The 10-day event from June 18-27 also includes a dozen ticketed culinary experiences, including a seafood boil and Juneteeth Hip-Hop Brunch.
Here are the special menu offerings you will be able to find around Lexington.
